Packed with pears, this jolly gelatin salad is a light and refreshing treat. My Mom knew that fruit served in this fun form would get gobbled right up. She also liked it because the bowl looked like a sparkling jewel on our dinner table.

Tip

Save Crumbs for Topping Ice Cream

“Don’t discard cookie or cereal crumbs,” advises Marie R. of Bensenville, Illinois. “Use them to top pudding, gelatin and ice cream.”

This is so easy, creamy and delicious! A friend tried it using lemon jello and it was equally good.

I always double this because we like it so much. I boil 2 c. juice/water in microwave,then put it in the blender with the jello until dissolved (careful, it's hot). Then I add 8oz. cream cheese a piece at a time while blending. Then put in your pears, and pulse until they are coarse. Pour into a bowl with the last cup of water, and add the topping when it's partially set. It makes this so easy!

I have made this recipe many times, and each time it is a hit. Thanks for sharing. I also tried it with cherries blended thru a blender so they are nice and smooth then used wild cherry jell-o, this is an awesome change.

Couldn't you use sugar free gelatin and sugar free cool whip to really lower the carbs and the calories?
